The US labor market has ground to a halt as companies grapple with the Ripple effects of Trump's tariff policies. Manufacturing, wholesale, retail, and energy sectors are bearing the brunt, with hiring freezes and layoffs becoming commonplace. Business leaders cite rising costs and policy uncertainty as key deterrents to growth.

Julie Robbins, CEO of EarthQuaker Devices, illustrates the strain.

'We can't hire or invest without predictable costs,' Robbins states, echoing a sentiment widespread among US manufacturers.
